| Net Income per Share |
Net Income per Share Basic net income per share measures the performance of an entity over the reporting period. Diluted net income per share measures the performance of an entity over the reporting period while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. The Company uses the “if-converted” method to determine the potential dilutive effect of its Class B Common Stock and the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of outstanding RSUs and PSUs. The following table reflects the allocation of net income to common stockholders and net income per share computations for the periods indicated based on a weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended | | (In thousands, except per share data) | June 30, 2024 | | June 30, 2023 | | June 30, 2024 | | June 30, 2023 | | Basic Net Income Per Share | | | | | | | | | Numerator: | | | | | | | | | Net income attributable to Liberty Energy Inc. stockholders | $ | 108,421 | | | $ | 152,671 | | | $ | 190,313 | | | $ | 315,326 | | | Denominator: | | | | | | | | | Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | 166,210 | | | 173,131 | | | 166,268 | | | 174,840 | | | Basic net income per share attributable to Liberty Energy Inc. stockholders | $ | 0.65 | | | $ | 0.88 | | | $ | 1.14 | | | $ | 1.80 | | | Diluted Net Income Per Share | | | | | | | | | Numerator: | | | | | | | | | Net income attributable to Liberty Energy Inc. stockholders | $ | 108,421 | | | $ | 152,671 | | | $ | 190,313 | | | $ | 315,326 | | | Effect of exchange of the shares of Class B Common Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock | — | | | — | | | — | | | 71 | | | Diluted net income attributable to Liberty Energy Inc. stockholders | $ | 108,421 | | | $ | 152,671 | | | $ | 190,313 | | | $ | 315,397 | | | Denominator: | | | | | | | | | Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 166,210 | | | 173,131 | | | 166,268 | | | 174,840 | | | Effect of dilutive securities: | | | | | | | | | Restricted stock units | 3,459 | | | 3,094 | | | 4,379 | | | 3,955 | | | Class B Common Stock | — | | | — | | | — | | | 42 | | | Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 169,669 | | | 176,225 | | | 170,647 | | | 178,837 | | | Diluted net income per share attributable to Liberty Energy Inc. stockholders | $ | 0.64 | | | $ | 0.87 | | | $ | 1.12 | | | $ | 1.76 | |
